What is the Hardest Sport?

[King Ian]

Ok let's say you are in High School and you want to participate in a School Sport.
You are in Fairly Decent shape you know the average Highschool guy.What sport would it be hardest to succeed in?
So the question is what is the hardest sport to condition you because Sports liek tennis take skill.

Personally, I did football,Cross Country, Track,and Rugby

The hardest probally, By far would be Cross Country 3.1 miles of Fast pace action almost sprinting.

What do you thinks the hardest sport?

[AMERICAZHUSTLA]

i played football in high school and my team was very good but even though i think soccer is a gay sport those kids had to train their asses every day sprints hill climbs looked hard to me

[Fullback7]

Some people just have the god given endurance to do Cross Counrty. I have to say Rugby is the hardest. You have to condition like a soccer/basketball player.. Have the agility and strength like a football player... And be able to get knocked around like a Boxer.

I always wondered why people think Soccer is gay. I play and love it. What do you find ***gy about it?

[zigz]

baseball..

where else is failing 6/10 times only achievable in a dream? You have to hit a ball less than 3" in diameter going over 80 miles an hour past you (and can move like a mother****er) with another round object that is 2 5/8" around usually that you swing.. and you need to do this while hitting it to where the 9 players on the field AREN'T and can't get to.

Meatloaf can do it in the celebrity softball game before the All-star game... Just messing with you, but ya baseball takes incredible skill. Not everyone can hit a Randy Johnson fastball or a Tim Wakefield Knuckler.

x2 it does take skill and coordination

[mavum]

baseball only sport where you fail more than succed

[gountilfailure0]

golf

[SecondSucks]

Wrestling or swimming

[communistpanda]

Wrestling.

/thread.

[Bravodor]

Track/CC

Everyday you run till you passout or throwup, then you get a break and you go agian.

x14 and thats a day, added to your 2 mile warmup and 2 mile cooldown. And thats just Highschool.

Only crazy mother****ers do track in college, its literal hell.

Track is the most painful and depressing, but Rugby is probably the most hardcore teamsport.

??? you're coaches must have really had no clue how to train people.

[Russia25]

To succeed in? Swimming.

[Wmachine]

Wrestling is the toughest. It takes strength, skill and endurance. Enormous discipline to push yourself to exhaustion both on your own and at practice. The personal discipline and sacrifice to watch your weight. And when you compete you don't have a team to blame if you fail. But when you succeed it's all on you.

No sport is as tough as wrestling.

[Malodrax]

imo cross country running is the most gruiling.... when your racing.. you need to PUSH yourself and you CAN'T stop (if you wnat to win ofcourse)... with other sports you get a breaks between game time.

[malty]

Anybody who says something besides wrestling has never wrestled before.

[EssexGuy]

most exhausting is wrestling or mma.

[Bartacus]

MMA is clearly more difficult than wrestling. It's like wrestling+. There are many more ways to hurt someone and get hurt. You're not going to catch a roundhouse to the face in a wrestling match.

Unfortunately, there's no way a HS would ever sponsor a MMA team, so it's disqualified.

[phikappa]

I'm voting for water polo. Those guys are in crazy shape and they get kicked in the nuts all the time.

[datamon]

of the "normal" american sports, i feel soccer deserves mention. it is a sport that requires athletic ability coupled with lots of conditioning. midfielders can cover (walk/jog/sprint) about 6-8 miles in a 90 minutes game, with no time-outs.

there is some, but limited, body contact involved however.

[bigdaddy13]

I played football and wrestled in HS and College. Wrestling is a lot tougher mentally and physically, but recently got into Hockey, wow I would put that sport against any other. You need strenght, balance, endurance, speed and you get to hit. Personally I wish I would have started when I was a kid.

[Russia25]

The OP asked if you were in HS and in decent sport which would be the most difficult to succeed in. Not whats the hardest sport in general.

So here's what you get to pick from

Soccer
Cross Country
Football
Golf
Field Hockey
Wrestling
Swimming
Basketball
Hockey
Weightlifting
Lacrosse
Baseball
Track and Field
Volleyball


I would say Golf or Swimming would become the hardest to succeed in given the circumstances.

[KellerLB]

football is probably at my school


We practice every day except friday/saturday (Sunday to Thursdays) Games on Fridays and we have Team Meetings every mon/wed/fri at lunch (for the whole lunch period) and then when the season is over we do Team Weightlifting until spring camp and then we dont do anything over summer till 2 a days (But we are expected to condition and train for 2 a days)

Every day for practice we do Stretching, Warmup and then a training circuit where we do Angle Tackling, Form Tackling, Strength/Conditioning and Agility. Then we do Inde periods (All diff positions go with coaches). Then we do Team D and Team O (Defense and Offensive Systems and Defense always does some conditioning/pursuit drills)... Then we da Passkelly or fullskelly and then we have a scrimmage and then we do conditioning which is usually Hill Sprints (Sprint, then side shuffle, switch sides, then crab crawl, then backpedal then more sprinting) then we break

It really depends on how you define success.
If you define success as attaining moderate levels of achievement, then swimming and golf are among the easiest because there are very few people to compete against. I swam in HS and it was easy. Some of the best swimmers don't want to spend their time in HS competitions because the swimming world is so competative and time consuming on its own. (Many did of course)

If you define success as winning state, then yes, swimming would be impossible to succeed at. Elite swimmers do 2 a days year round from about 12 years old on.

The pain most participants in contact sports have to endure is also going to be prohibitive to success for a great deal of average joes.

[Haterade~]

Hockey (yes probably biased)

GG if you've never skated before

[BigVic5]

No sport is as tough as wrestling.

what about boxing?

[krives55]

im a swimmer.. what what.

[Fischer__35]

I would have to say that football is the hardest sport there is.

Apprently is has the most rules then any other sport in the world. Not to mention, the amount of possible plays there are. I heard some where that an NFL team can have over 1000 plays. Just getting the verbage down can be pretty damn hard.

I gotta say I think football is probably one of the hardest sports just from a mental standpoint, then you take into consideration the physical shape you have to be in...


HARD!!

[Quarter Nelson]

what about boxing?

Boxers don't have 60+ matches a year.
